No Regrets, No Apologies is an improbable memoir of a man who was a
heart surgeon, a mountain climber and a doctor who worked for
humanitarian organizations. The narrative takes the reader through
a kaleidoscope of scenes--a troubled childhood in a small
California town, cardiac surgery gone awry, a group of mountaineers
trapped in a snow cave on Nanga Parbat in Pakistan, a humanitarian
surgical team working in the besieged city of Misurata during the
Libyan civil war. Sometimes with humility and humour, often with
brutal honesty the author weaves a story of his turbulent life. The
tale is replete with frustrations and successes, triumphs and
tragedies. There is a failed marriage followed by a fulfilling
love. Your hair will stand on end during some passages describing
events in operating rooms around the world and you will experience
the fear of climbing cold, remote peaks. You will smile frequently,
occasionally you will laugh out loud and you may even shed a few
tears while reading this fascinating book. Finally you will
understand the forces that shaped this man's extraordinary life.
